Meanwhile at shiv’s house too,preps in full swing,with dadaji irritating alok full on with his directions for decorations,mahi distrubing more rather than helping meenu with the rangoli while ira is making sweets in a happy environment.She gets a call form dadisa and after exchanging greetings,gets an invitation to celebrate diwali in the haveli.Ira agrees that they would come aftre finishing the puja at their place.Dadisa asks what gift to get for sanchi.She says not required.But dadisa says that gifts increase love and happiness in the relation and keep the spark alive.And demands to talk to her.But ira gets tensed and makes up an excuse saying that she hasnt reached as yet.Dadisa says she would decide with anandi and gehna only and cancels the phone.

Shiv who hs just come after shopping.sees her tensed and asks whats the matter.She tells him about sanchi and shiv instantly calls her up on her mobile.She tries to wriggle out of coming to jaitsar by giving reason of practicals and assignment submission.But shiv tells her forcefully to be with the family on this diwali and tells her to leave right away and reach by the evening.She disinterestedly says yes.

After cancelling the phone,sanchi is upset and thinking to herself that dues to anandi she cannot be with her family on the occassion of diwali for the first time in her life and that she hates her for having taken away her family and her brother away from her.Thinking that she doesnt want to spoil her diwali by seeing anandi’s face who she doesnt want to see,she looks around other rooms that are locked since everybody has gone to be with their family and is upset.

Dadaji also gets gifts for everybody.Alok says it feels like reliving old times again whn they waited with bated breaths and enthusianm to see what they had been gifted by dadaji.He gives everybody gifts and gts emotional lookign at the watch he brought to be given to sanchi.He says he would keep it an dgive it to her when she comes.And asks everybody to prepare to go to anandi’s house.The screen freezes on shiv’s happy face.

Underlying Message: Festivals in the Indian culture are a way of spreding harmony unity and fraternity in the society.When the families celebrate festivals together,they are bonded by a connection deeper than blood .

Precap: Shiv is tied rakhi by sanchi,he tells her that she’s the most special girl in his life.Sanchi says had that been the case,he wouldnt have gone to find his life partner himself without asking his special person.She then goes on to tell him,that she doesnt know what he saw in that illiterate girl from a backward villagey background.Shiv is hurt.Alok gets angry at her and everybody gets tensed.
